Start Jamming...
[N] [C]
She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge.
She studied sculpture at St.
Martin's College, that's where [G] I
[C]
She told me that her tap was loaded.
I said, in that case, I'm a woman.
Coca-Cola.
She said, [G] fine.
And then in 30 seconds time, she said,
[F] I wanna live like common people.
I wanna do whatever common people do.
[C] I wanna sleep with common people.
I wanna sleep with common people like you.
[G]
Or what else could I do?
I said, oh, I'll see what I can [C] do.
I took her to the supermarket.
I don't know why, but I just started [G] somewhere.
So it started there.
[C] I said, pretend you couldn't remember me.
And she just laughed and said,
Oh, you're so funny, I suggest.
[G] I can't see anyone else smiling here.
Are you sure?
[F] You wanna live like common people.
You wanna see what common people [C] see.
Wanna sleep with common people.
You wanna sleep with common people like [G] me.
But she didn't understand.
Then she just smiled and had my [C] hand.
I went to class with all the sound.
I kept your hair and gave it down.
The social [G] factions played some fool.
Pretending I never went to school.
Still, you'll [C] never get it right.
It's when you're late and bad at it.
Or do you [G] just cry on the wall?
If you told your daddy, he'd stop it.
Oh, yeah.
[F] You'll never live like common people.
You'll never do whatever the common people do.
[C] Never play it like common people.
You'll never watch your lives.
Try not [G] to feel.
And the dance, and drink, and screw.
Because there's nothing else to [C] do.
[G]
[C]
[G]
[F] Sing along with the common people.
Sing along and it might just get you [C] through.
Walk along with the common people.
Walk along in the class of the [G] two.
And the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that all is [C] good.
Commoner, they will bite you.
And whether you want milk [G] out.
Or tear your incense out.
[C] Because everybody hates you, tourists.
Especially one who thinks it's all for your luck.
[G]
And keeps days of grief.
Well, come out in the back.
You [F] will never understand.
How it feels to live your life.
With no meaning [C] or control.
And with nowhere left to go.
You are [G] amazed that they exist.
And they burn so bright whilst you can't see.
I [C] wonder why.
I'm in top class above the shop.
Cut your hair and get a job.
I still turn [G] fat and play some pool.
Pretend you never went to school.
Pretend you [C] never get it right.
It's when you're laying there at night. Watch it.
[G] We'll just climb the wall.
If you come down, that's because it's coming home.
[F] Never live like common people.
Never do what common people [C] do.
Never fail like common people.
Never watch your life.
It's right on the table.
Let me dance.
Let me sing.
Because there's nothing else to do.
I'm in top class.
I'm a living common people.
I'm a living common people.
I'm a living common people like you.
I'm a living common people like you.
I'm a living common people like you.
I'm a living
